Working hard and very little sewing and computer time at the moment.
So, for a little self healing, some retail therapy was in order.
But where to go?
I made my decision and set out on my lone expedition to Tranquility Crafts in Moonee Ponds.
I found Natalie Bird,
and Lynette Anderson ...
and Jo Morton too.
Unfortunately no-one was available for coffee!
A much happier girl, I set off home, but as I passed GJ's in Brunswick I had to pop in just in case.
Lucky I did, I found Mrs Christmas who assures me that her husband is working on many new fabric designs for the coming festive season.
At GJ's I did actually meet some real friends, but still no coffee.
Buoyed by my happy couple of hours I headed home and back to work.
Hexagon progress - falling in love as I go, but when I ironed them some of the basting thread melted!

I wish I could have had a coffee with you today. I like the way you shop! No wonder you love your hexies, they look great. Can you still use them?
An almost perfect (coffee perfects any day)- love the goodies. And your hex.s are beautiful - I love browns in small pieced quilts. They look so cozy.
Even stitches,

Retail therapy is always good for the overworked soul and it looks like you did a good job at some healing. Have fun with all your new inspiration.
you'll love the Red book........I would have loved to have coffee but I am too far away........
A little retail therapy is always fun. Sweet hexies. I use regular thread to baste. Yours should be fine though.
Sounds like the perfect remedy :)
A bit of retail therapy is good for the soul!!! Some great buys!!! Love your little hexies - oh! dear! about the melted thread, you won't use that again....
Merilyn is spot on re retail therapy! :) Some lovely stitchery books you've got there! And your 3 drawstring bags are even lovelier with those Christmas fabrics.
Never heard of basting thread melting before? What type was it?
